Guiding you on an embodied return to your core Self

Hello,I’m Erika

I’m an AMFT and relational trauma practitioner

with a BA in Psychology and an MA in Counseling Psychology. I’m currently completing my Doctorate in Jungian Depth Psychology and Integrative Healing Practices.

I specialize in childhood complex trauma and sexual abuse that triggered fearful avoidant attachment, structural dissociation and anxiety/panic.

Rooted in the modalities of Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, and Jungian Depth Psychology, my work fosters the recovery of the Core Self and attachment security.

I support clients whose childhood Self development was significantly impacted, to relieve chronic stress from the body, feel safe in connection, and move from relational trauma towards relational intimacy.

Clients initially come to my work because they want to get rid of their anxiety…

and find relief from persistent symptoms of emotional numbness, chronic stress, hyper-vigilance, addiction, and codependency.

The truth is, below the anxiety most of my clients have experienced:

Childhood shock, attachment, and developmental trauma

Narcissistic parenting and objectification

Emotional abandonment and neglect

Sexual abuse and eroticization of these wounds

The cold mother archetype

Betrayal wounding in relationships

These particular experiences severed the connection with their core Self and triggered PTSD, complex trauma, fearful avoidant attachment, and emotional whiplash between panic and (functional) freeze.

Often, the first distressing symptom to appear is anxiety.

Whether you’re navigating the impact from childhood trauma, abuse or neglect, or relational wounds, this space is for you.

I want to support you in reconnecting with your body and rediscovering your worth by healing painful patterns in your relationships and turning off survival mode. Through the subtle cues of your body and the gentle integration of past trauma, we will restore your capacity for safety, connection, and vitality.

Anxiety might just be the beginning of your return to your core Self.

Let me be your guide through.

My Offerings

  • One to One

    When you’re stuck in chronic stress, the emotional whiplash of anxiety panic and (functional) freeze, and repeating painful relational patterns.

    Our work together will help you learn to soften into your center, trust sensation in your body, and expand your nervous system capacity to be fully seen, profoundly open, and deeply felt so you can earn secure attachment.

  • One to Two

    When relational conflict, vulnerability, and healthy dependence trigger subconscious relational wounding.

    Together we will bridge the emotional and physical distance created by attachment injuries, learn the art of truth telling through nonviolent communication, and create rupture and repair cycles that are regenerative, giving way to deeper intimacy.

  • SELF Sourced

    When you crave deep connection, but don’t feel safe enough in your body to receive it.

    Join an intimate group journey combining my one on one work with live virtual circles and in depth curriculum, and learn how to transmute the downward spiral of shame, shut down, and fear of intimacy, into self love, vulnerability, and subconscious self worth.
